He asked, “New Name?”

Red ball answered, “New beginning right? So new name. Any suggestions?”

He thought for some time and said, “I want a name from my world, so that I will not forget where I came from.”

“HA!” A laugh came from the red ball. ”Still trying to figure out where you came from? Alright fine. You always coveted knowledge. How about name Pragna?”

He repeated, “Pragna… good name I like it.”

The moment he accepted that name he heard sound Ding!

A blue box appeared in front of him

    Congratulations! Pragna has been integrated into the system.  

He was stunned, “what is this?”

“This is the system we created. Every time you make a significant progress in whatever field you endeavor, a notification will appear to show your progress. All of your accumulated progress can be seen by calling for status window. But before we can do that we have to make some adjustments to you. For some reason, your soul still remembers the burning pain you went through. Only way to remove that is by altering your soul and that implies you’re personality also. But that’s not what we want. So along with original gift we are adding one more skill to you.”

Immediately after red ball said that, a warm sensation started spreading through his body. He started sensing an unbelievable vitality through his entire body and not just that but something else. Instinctively he raised his hand and a small yellow flame appeared in his palm. Suddenly he heard notification sound again!

   “By elder god’s blessing your body has been modified. Every fire magic practitioner first creates flame and manipulates it. But you are the first living creature of flesh and blood that is flame itself! Creating flame to you is same as breathing, instinctive. You can never be killed by flames. All source of heat are nourishment to you. Because you are made up of flesh and blood you don’t have any weakness towards water related elements. ” 

    “Because of your unique constitution, there is nothing in this world that you cannot eat or digest. You recover faster than most. But you will always feel a small pang of hunger. Rarely will you find a meal that will satiate you.” 

Pragna was quite surprised while staring at the notifications and the flame hovering in his hand. Also he started feeling that small hungry feeling in his stomach. As it was stated, though this is a disadvantage but compared to the gains this is nothing.

Before Pragna could say anything, “wait!  We are not done yet. What you received was just a bonus gift. Here is the real thing we have prepared for you.”

    “Congratulations!  You have been given gift of knowledge. As long as will it, you can see the status of every creature and things irrespective of their level. Costs you zero mana. ”  

Pragna immediately tried to see the lvl of red ball

    “error”

“Right one more thing! Whenever you see error notification while using gift of knowledge it means the other party is a member of council of gods and no I am not telling what that means right now, you will get to know that eventually. OK Pragna why don’t call status window and check it.”

Pragna called out, “status window”.

Pragna was staring at his stats, “Are these stats values good or bad?”

Red ball answered, “for lvl 6 these values are actually quite high. Only your speed stat is normal.  So any more questions?”

“None.”

Red ball continued,“Even though your skills and stats will definitely put you at advantage, don’t get over confident. If you die you will not be revived by us again. Your soul will go into re-incarnation system. That time you may start with worst stats with no prior knowledge of anything. So be prudent. As a final favour you are going to be teleported into 12 fire islands of mortal realm. With your fire affinity you will have a little bit easy time. Have fun. Good luck.”
